What Is Waxed Block of Copper in Minecraft?

Waxed Block of Copper is a Block of Copper that has been waxed with Honeycomb to permanently stop it from oxidising. It keeps its orange copper colour forever and will not turn green over time. It is useful when you want copper decorations to stay bright orange. It can be un-waxed by scraping it with an Axe.

How Does Waxed Block of Copper Work?

Does not oxidise - permanently stays at its current oxidation state.
Apply Honeycomb to any copper block to wax it.
Scrape with an Axe to remove the wax and allow oxidation to resume.
Lightning striking it removes one oxidation stage (wax does not protect from lightning).
